The Meaning Behind Jamhuri Day

Jamhuri Day, celebrated every December 12th, commemorates Kenya’s independence from British colonial rule in 1963 and the establishment of the republic in 1964. The word "Jamhuri" means "republic" in Swahili, reflecting the country’s journey toward self-governance and sovereignty.
